Rank: New forum user		Good morning all, Can anyone help please? Where can I ‘go’ or does anyone have the standards for numbers of, distance spacing and types of automatic smoke detectors in these types of buildings? Having done a quick search I’ve not come up with anything specific. Many thanks Alan

Rank: Forum user		Have you tried BS EN 54-2 covers Fire detection and fire alarm systems BS 5837-1 Fire detection and alarm systems for buildings: Code of practice for system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance You could also try the fire protection association as they have a number of useful guidance documents on fire safety management.

The will do domestics but not commercials Have a look & download here (bottom left hand side of page for Coopers excellent 'fire installers guide') An excellent basic guide to BS5839-1 without shelling out £100s. Good luck

Rank: Super forum user		I would also be impressed if the fire brigade came and fitted them for free (or otherwise). I thought I'd missed a trick then :-)

Rank: Forum user		Our local fire brigade fit smoke detectors for free in domestic properties (part of their community safety initiative), but I haven't heard of any similar initiatives for workplaces.
